Top 5 Foods For Iftar

From date bites to hummus dips, these iftar snacks are so good, they should be fast and famous! Get ready for a flavor fest that’ll have you saying, “just one more… okay, maybe two!”

Ramadan is a time of reflection, devotion, and, of course, delightful Iftar meals. As the sun sets, why not treat yourself to iftar snacks that are both nutritious and delicious? Here’s a list of ideas to make your evenings healthier. Sun’s down, snack’s up!

1. Date Bliss Balls: The OG Iftar MVP

Dates are a staple during Ramadan. They’re classic, they’re energizing, and the natural sweetness makes ‘em a hit. But why stop at plain dates when you can roll ‘em up into delicious little energy bites? Blend pitted dates with nuts like almonds or walnuts, add a sprinkle of chia seeds, and a dash of cinnamon. Roll them into bite-sized balls, and voilà! For a convenient twist, try Realsy peanut butter stuffed dates. They’re chewy, filling, and totally iftar-approved!

2. Baklava-Inspired Nut Mix: Crunch Without Crumbs

No time (or patience) to make baklava from scratch? No problem. We’re hacking those warm, spiced flavors into a crunchy, snackable mix! Toss together pistachios, walnuts and almonds. Drizzle with a touch of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Toast this blend lightly for a crunchy, sweet and satisfying snack. 

3. Garlic Lovers' Hummus with Crunchy Veggies

Let’s be honest, hummus makes everything better! It’s smooth, it’s creamy and oh-so protein-rich. Whip up a batch by blending chickpeas with tahini, lemon juice and an extra clove (or two) of garlic for that zesty kick. Pair it with fresh veggie sticks like carrots, cucumbers and bell peppers. For an added crunch, you can serve with CARBS sourdough crackers. It's a match made in snack heaven!

4. Hydration Station: Drink Up, Buttercup!

After a day of fasting, hydration is key. But it’s time to jazz up the simple water! Quench your thirst and replenish essential electrolytes with Organika Electrolyte Powder. Simply mix with water, and you've got a revitalizing drink to keep you energized. What’s it they say, stay hydrated, stay unstoppable!?

5. Savory Zaatar Overnight Oats: Breakfast? Meet Iftar.

Overnight oats? At iftar? You better believe it! When you mix creamy oats with the magic of zaatar, you get a savory, satisfying and unexpectedly amazing snack. Combine rolled oats with Greek yogurt and a splash of milk. Stir in a generous sprinkle of zaatar and a drizzle of honey. Let it sit in the fridge during the day. By iftar, you'll have a creamy, savory and slightly sweet meal waiting for you. You can simply use HOLOS organic overnight muesli and jazz it up! 

Iftar isn’t just about breaking your fast, it’s about fueling up right so you can enjoy your evening (and let’s be honest, prepare for suhoor). With these tasty, nutritious snacks, you’re getting the best of both worlds - incredible flavors and solid nutrition. So, what are you waiting for? Let’s make this Ramadan the tastiest one yet! Happy snacking, and Ramadan Mubarak!
